Marriage and health insurance changes

0

Q. I’m getting married, and my husband is already 65. Can I still put him under my health insurance, or does he have to stay with Medicare?

A. Yes, you can change your coverage from self only to self and family. If you are an employee, you can do that within 60 days after your change in family status under code 1C in the Table of Permissible Changes. If you are a retiree, you can do it from 31 days before through 60 days after the change under code 2B.
